Peter Sinfield wrote lyrics for Emerson, Lake and Palmer. On the "Works
Volume I" album, the song "Pirates" had lyrics by Lake and Sinfield, and
music by Emerson.

I find it hard to believe he wrote for Pink Floyd.

Pete Sinfield wrote most of the early King Crimson lyrics, also.  On the road,
he did the first light shows for Crimson, designing his own lighting from 
Christmas tree spotlights and such.

Sinfield co-wrote many ELP songs - just look at the liner credits for 
'Brain Salad Surgery'.
